Question

Explain how to divide 3/4 ÷ 3/8 by using reciprocal of 3/8​

Answer 1

The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).

When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.

3/4 ÷ 3/8

= 3/4 × 8/3

Simplifying gives us the final answer:

= 2
